Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Huh? Master, don't you want to read on? That group of students named Liu Maoxing hasn't finished their works yet?" Bizen's boss looked at the bald old man who got up suspiciously.

In the morning, he was also shocked. The energy of this "master" was really unimportant. He lingered in the night court all night, and he was still able to watch the game the next day.

But what puzzled the boss of Bizen was that he originally thought that the master must have come to see the young man whom he had gifted with the "old face". Who knew that the master got up and was about to leave before Liu Maoxing submitted his work. look...

"There's nothing to see anymore. If you still can't win, the judges should cut off your tongue!" said the bald old man.

While talking, he tapped his lower back and muttered, "I'm really old. Ten years ago, those little fairies would still make my back hurt?"

"..." Bizen wanted to say that ten years ago, you must have been quite old, right?

Bizen wanted to give the bald old man a gift, but he stopped him: "I'm leaving Hokkaido soon, and I left you a gift in your back kitchen. See you soon!"

Hearing that Biqian's boss didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, he just bowed to the master's back and said, "I wish you a prosperous food!"

Hearing what the master said, although Bizen felt regretful, but he knew the master's temperament well, and also knew that once the other party decided to leave, he would not come back, so...

There was a sudden pause in the master's leaving footsteps, and then he came back under Bizen's speechless gaze: "Ahem, that... about my travel expenses..."

Not to mention the "shameless" scene in the audience, the pastries prepared by the ten groups of contestants in the field have already reached the second half.

Liu Maoxing's group is considered eye-catching, because there are a total of eight casserole pots in front of them, and they are using them at the same time.

The fermented dough brought in now also has three colors of green, black, and red because of the addition of spinach, sesame, and red ginseng. Counting the original white, it is four colors!

Moreover, unlike the players in other groups, who were decorating the code discs in their free time, Liu Maoxing actually came in with a bundle of bamboo. What are you writing.

It was also after seeing this scene that the bald old man thoroughly confirmed Liu Maoxing's cooking, got up and left...

"Liu Maoxing? I thought it was just a coincidence that the same name and surname... After all, this name should not be known to ordinary people... But why? The fermented dough of old flour can reach that level, and his cooking is clearly ... Yuanyue Academy? Could it be that the little ghost of the Nakiri family wants to do something?"

After the bald old man left the venue, he booked the nearest flight directly online, and immediately called a taxi to the airport.

That night, he had already appeared in the commander-in-chief's office of Yuanyue College.

Of course, the security of the college is not a decoration, and naturally it will not easily let an old man who looks very suspicious in his clothes come in, but he did not expect the old man to be at the gate of the college, so he dialed the special line of the commander-in-chief, and was escorted by the driver of Nakiri’s family. went in...

"It's a rare visitor. Master actually came to Totsuki Academy? What's the matter?" Senzaemon said respectfully.

"It's nothing, have you read the latest Hokkaido gourmet news?" The old man was still picking his nose.

"Well, I was surprised for a while at the time, but since the master also mentioned it, it seems that the master is helping secretly, right?"

"You really don't know?" The bald old man's tone became serious.

"Are you talking about his name? At first I thought it was just the same name, but now it seems... they should have provoked me, right? The master should go back to the country to find them." Xianzaemon obviously He also knows the name "Liu Maoxing".

"Come on, those brainless guys will let other people call this name?" The bald old man obviously didn't believe it.

"Then I don't know much about him. His information has been reviewed online. It is very likely that some hackers have deciphered some loopholes. The birth information is fictitious." It seems that Senzaemon has already studied Liu Maoxing's background.

"Forget it, that might be...do you believe in reincarnation?" the bald old man said suddenly.

Senzaemon didn't answer his illusory question, and the bald old man also shook his head mockingly: "I've lived for too long, and my mind is starting to think wildly! If this is the case, then I'll go back to Sichuan and Shu to have a look, although I want to I also know that it must have nothing to do with those little stubbornness."

"It's only half a year before the 'that event' that happens once every ten years, and we will have to trouble Master by then." Senzaemon said suddenly.

"Well, but... counting this time, I have done notarization for you ten times, and there may not be an eleventh chance! I hope this time, it can really be settled."

The bald old man didn't turn his head back after he finished speaking... No, he turned his head again and asked Senzaemon for the travel expenses to return home, and rejected Senzaemon's "excessive" gift.

As for what Senzaemon and the bald old man said before, about the gourmet news in Hokkaido, they were talking about something that happened six hours ago...

At the Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest, the master of ceremonies vigorously announced: "92 points! Three judges gave perfect marks! Another absolute high score! It is worthy of being the defending champion of the second consecutive championship, two brothers Hirata Hideaki, Hirata and Akira, The score this time is even higher than the 91 points when we won the championship last time!"

The Hirata brothers were already congratulating each other, while the previous group with the highest score of 86 sat back in frustration.

Because ten judges are scoring, perfect marks are hard to come by. On the contrary, there are more opportunities to "deduct points", so the higher the score, the more difficult it is.

More than 90 points are rare in previous competitions, and sometimes even the champion can't reach 90 points.

So the previous group with 86 points was also very much looking forward to!

"Now there is only the last group that has not been reviewed, that is, the juniors of the Hirata brothers, the students of the Yuanyue Academy, the fifteen-year-old Liu Maoxing, and the Kurokiba Ryo group! I believe that in the next few years, they will be able to In this arena, reproduce the glory of the Hirata brothers!"

The master of ceremonies did give a very high evaluation, but Kurokiba was upset and pointed the middle finger at the direction of the master of ceremonies, and cursed unconvincedly.

Obviously, he doesn't think that losing to a graduate who has graduated for six or seven years is an acceptable thing, and he doesn't think that saying that he can reach the opponent's current height in the future belongs to the category of "praise".

"Okay, Kurokiba! The opponent's colorful seafood ramen has indeed reached the height of a pastry master. Now that we lose, our skills are inferior to others. There is nothing to say." Liu Maoxing persuaded.

If it is genuine "Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Zhenhun Man", Liu Maoxing believes that he can beat the opponent's "Colorful Seafood Ramen", but because he has no "cooking heart", Zhenhun Man is also trapped at the level of "super four-star" However, "Colorful Seafood Ramen" already has a five-star standard, and the first place seems to be hopeless...

As the sixth and seventh seats of Yuanyue Academy who graduated seven years ago, it is reasonable for the Hirata brothers to touch the edge of super five-star skills, and they still specialize in pastry!

Thinking about how to persuade Alice to be more flexible, Liu Maoxing pushed ten bamboo boats and dining carts carrying four different kinds of steamed buns in front of the judges...

"Huh? Very distinctive presentation!"

"Four kinds of seafood steamed buns? The color looks good."

"However, the more types of dishes you prepare, the easier it is to be picked out, and it's not easy to hit high scores!"

"Young people! Take this opportunity to practice more, and it's good to practice. It's right not to pay too much attention to grades."

"Huh? There are words on this steamed bun?"

"Indeed, the green ones are two kinds of 'Qing' and 'Dragon', the red ones are also two kinds of 'Zhu' and 'Farrow', the white ones are 'White' and 'Tiger', and the black ones are 'Xuan' and 'Wu'... I said the two prepared eight kinds of steamed stuffed buns, right?"

The judges started discussing, and then asked Liu Maoxing in a strange tone.

"That's right, this is exactly my work 'Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Soul-Suppressing Steamed Bun'!" Liu Maoxing said.

The judges couldn't help but let out some non-malicious laughter: "Haha, I didn't expect that our youngest contestant is also the most greedy!"

"Four Gods? Eight Treasures? The Four Gods refer to the four spirit beasts that guard the four directions written on it, right? The Eight Treasures should be the seafood fillings that you have processed separately in eight casserole pots. As for the 'Soul Soul'... …Is it related to the origin of steamed buns? It’s a good idea, but you must know that greed is the most taboo during competitions! Alright, let’s try it too!”

"Too bad, I don't know if I can still eat eight steamed buns, even if I only taste one bite of each... After all, I ate too many colorful seafood ramen because I didn't pay attention before."

"Huh? So, the soul-suppressing steamed bun has one more material than the colorful seafood ramen?"

The seven-color seafood ramen of the previous "quasi-champion" is also seven kinds of ramen served separately. Each kind of seafood is only one bite each, and it is presented in a special ramen bowl divided into seven grids. It was indeed very delicious, so the judges all ate too much.

"Hey, what about the Four Gods and Eight Treasures? It's just a gimmick after talking about it for a long time! Let's try it first!" A judge with a mustache who seemed very picky picked up a red " Zhu" steamed bun took a bite...

Almost every time he scored, he gave the lowest score. Even in the group of Hirata Brothers, he only gave 8 points, and the others gave 9 or 10 points.

However, after taking a bite, his expression suddenly became weird, and the disdainful words that everyone expected did not come out.

What was even weirder than his expression was his subsequent behavior. He actually ate all the "Zhu" steamed buns in his hand in three bites, and then couldn't wait to pick up the red "bird" steamed buns beside him...

"Mr. Hori Yue? Are you okay?" The other judges looked at each other, and the food critic, who has always been known for his poisonous tongue, was actually eating like this!

After swallowing, the other judges were also a little curious, and tasted the soul-suppressing steamed buns in front of them...

It's not just them, Liu Maoxing is also very curious... Even the "Colorful Seafood Ramen" didn't fascinate them so much before! According to my prediction, the colorful seafood ramen should have reached the standard of "super five-star"!
